Your First JPA Application
Summary: This tutorial explains how the sample Spring PetClinic application can be fine tuned to use GigaSpaces XAP JPA API and deployed into the GigaSpaces XAP platform
Before You Begin - Set Up Your Environment
Follow these instructions to download and install the latest version of XAP.
If you also wish to utilize the GigaSpaces XAP load balancing agent, you should download and install the Apache 2.2 Http Server{:target=”_blank”}.
Example Source Code and Build Scripts
You can download the example sources and build scripts on Github.
Simply download the sources as zip or clone the repo to your machine (make sure to use the {{site.petclinic_jpa_branch}}
branch).
Using XAP’s JPA Support to Scale the Spring PetClinic Sample Application - Step by Step
||This tutorial explains how the Spring PetClinic sample application can be scaled by running on the Space, showing you how to:
Adjust the PetClinic domain model to use the distributed XAP JPA implementation
Utilize scalable distributed patterns such as partitioning, colocation of data and business logic and Map/Reduce to scale your JPA application
Deploy the application on to the GigaSpaces XAP runtime environment to achieve high availability and self healing capabilities|
